Public Safety & Healthy Living

Our Public Safety & Healthy Living programs provide students with practical, age-appropriate knowledge designed to help them make safer decisions at school, at home, and throughout their community. Students learn when and how to call 911, what information to provide during an emergency, and how to recognize situations that require immediate help from a first responder or trusted adult. The curriculum also addresses bicycle and E-Scooter safety, including helmet use, safe riding practices, awareness of vehicles and pedestrians, and the importance of following community safety rules. Students are introduced to traffic lights, crosswalks, and common street and traffic signs so they can better understand how to safely navigate neighborhoods, school zones, and public spaces. Additional lessons focus on identifying trusted adults, understanding appropriate boundaries, recognizing unsafe or suspicious situations, and knowing what to do when approached by a stranger or when they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. By combining emergency preparedness, injury prevention, personal safety, and healthy decision-making, these programs equip children with practical skills and resources that can reduce preventable injuries, improve emergency response, and help create safer, healthier communities.
